Pima County Health Department Seeks Input on Youth Vaping Epidemic
|
|
|
| The Pima County Health Department Tobacco Control and Prevention Program has convened representatives from 12 Pima County Public School Districts to address the youth vaping epidemic through the establishment of the Pima County Public Schools Task Force Group.
The Task Force is currently assessing the local epidemic and is eager to hear from agency staff working with youth and families to better understand the services you provide (not necessarily related to substance abuse or vaping) and what trends you are seeing related to youth vaping in your programs.
If you are interested in participating in or contributing to this dialogue, please email Amelia Klawon at amelia@pauseforchange.com to schedule a time for a brief call. |
